뜻
Acting superior to others.
문화적 배경
Humility is a core value. Publicly 'raising one's nose' is often met with social ostracization or mockery in songs and jokes. There is a long-standing stereotype of the 'Vake' district elite being 'nose-raisers' compared to the more 'down-to-earth' residents of other districts. The Supra is designed to level social hierarchies. A guest who 'raises their nose' at the food or the wine is considered extremely rude. Younger Georgians use the idiom to describe 'flexing' on social media, though they might mix it with English loanwords.
State vs. Action
Use 'ცხვირი აქვს აწეული' (He has his nose raised) to describe a permanent personality trait, and 'ცხვირი აწია' (He raised his nose) to describe a sudden change.
Don't use with 'Up'
Avoid saying 'ცხვირის ზემოთ აწევა'. The 'აწევა' already means 'up'. It sounds redundant to native speakers.
